RFC: Optionally verbose SYSINIT

One of the things that I found useful both in starting the PowerPC port 
and in doing the XScale stuff I'm working on is making the SYSINIT stuff 
done by mi_startup() verbose.  This generally requires hacking your own 
code into mi_startup() to print out which SYSINIT you're up to and the 
like.  jhb recently pointed me at this version he wrote which uses DDB 
to look up the symbol corresponding to the SYSINIT in question which 
makes it even more useful.

I would like to commit this version, which I've made optional based on a 
VERBOSE_SYSINIT option, so as to make it available to anyone else 
further down the line who's porting to a new architecture.

Comments?  Questions?
